E- -LEARNING LEARNING E IN RENEWABLE ENERGY IN RENEWABLE ENERGY IN EASTERN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES, the ARAB IN EASTERN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES, the ARAB STATES, AUSTRALIA, INDONESIA and CHINA STATES, AUSTRALIA, INDONESIA and CHINA

This UNESCO OFFICE in VENICE initiative This UNESCO OFFICE in VENICE initiative intend to bring to the Eastern European intend to bring to the Eastern European countries, the Arab states, Australia, Indonesia countries, the Arab states, Australia, Indonesia and China advanced courses in Renewable Renewable and China advanced courses in Energy , through the use of a wideband , through the use of a wideband Energy telecommunications infrastructure. telecommunications infrastructure.

The idea is to use the Internet e-learning system in synchronous mode for training the “managers” of the different energy technologies. At the same time the same learning materials can be adapted to be used by internet in asynchronous mode and other e-learning materials can be developed for training the “operators and installer of renewable energy systems”. This means that the training materials for managers will be implemented with specific learning materials that local experts can use for training their operators.

Course delivery Course delivery ". The proposed E learning in Renewable energy field wants to test the feasibility of a mixed mode to approach teaching by giving to the participants the possibility of attending classes with a professor teaching and with the possibility to ask questions during classes (synchronous service). Moreover, the participants have the possibility to test their preparation offline by solving problems and answering questions prepared by the teachers, and to have access to a set of slides, which should be linked with video clips derived from the lectures (asynchronous service)

Target The distant learning courses will be addressed The distant learning courses will be addressed to 3 target users 3 target users : : to RENEWABLE ENERGY MANAGERS RENEWABLE ENERGY MANAGERS RENEWABLE ENERGY OPERATORS RENEWABLE ENERGY OPERATORS RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNICIANS TECHNICIANS RENEWABLE ENERGY

Objectives Objectives The main objective of the courses for renewable energy The main objective of the courses for renewable energy managers is to provide know provide know- -how in the how in the managers is to development & management of renewable development & management of renewable energy systems leading to : leading to : energy systems 1. REDUCTION IN GREENHOUSE EFFECT 1. REDUCTION IN GREENHOUSE EFFECT 2. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 2. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 3. PROMOTE THE RENEWABLE ENERGY 3.
